Get Involved

"Volunteering at New Beginnings each week is incredibly fulfilling, and I love having direct contact with participants. If you are just finishing up your volunteer training, plan on making a volunteer shift part of your calendar. It is a time commitment, but it is worth it."

Shelley McIntyre, New Beginnings Volunteer
